In February I noted that Threads Consignment moved next to Norf London in downtown Walnut Creek and now more change is happening in this area as Norf London has downsized with Threads Consignment taking over the other half of the store. CY Louie, the jewelry and accessories boutique previously in Broadway Plaza will relocate where Threads Consignment used to be, right next door.
In case you don’t know where this fashion hub is, as you’re walking down N. Main St. towards Neiman Marcus, turn right right before Brandy Melville in the covered passageway and it will be on your right, a few stores down.

Thanks to everyone who sent in word that the Italian-Peruvian fusion restaurant Stelle Bistro has closed. Diablo Dish also reported that they “appeared” to have gone out of business. Although the inside shows the table settings still set, the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate sign in front is the most public indication that they really have closed for good.

Last week I noted that Berkeley-based skin care company Body Time would be coming to Walnut Creek and it turns out they’re having a soft opening tomorrow, July 15th followed by the grand opening on Saturday, July 19th. I had a chance to preview the inside and it looks amazing (see photos after the jump). Check out their product line here. They also have a small men’s section in the shop (see product line here). They even offer birthday parties where kids can add scents and design their own lotion.
